The week before the Super Bowl in the early 90′s were very exciting times for me and other Bills fans. Nowadays it brings me sadness because I know the football season is over and it's another 8 months till it starts up again. Don't get me wrong, I love Super Bowl Sunday, the 10 hour pre-game, the snacks and the beer. It's a chance for the NFL to showcase their best 2 teams to duel it o...

Now that the glee from the victory over the Patsies has subsided, it's time for the next stop of the “SHOCK THE WORLD TOUR“…Pittsburgh. Throughout the week, there was not much crazy talk eminating from the Steelers or the Jets camps. In fact, quite the opposite. The Steelers and the Jets showered praise on one another as the week wore on. Now that we close in on kickoff, some...

It's been a month since the Bills finished the season 4-12 and we are now well into the playoffs with the Conference finals happening on Sunday. I've found it hard to get going with the blogs again but I just can't quit, much like the Bills played this year. What a year! More downs than ups, but the future seems a little brighter offensively than it has in years. However I use the word R...

Earlier during the day, I was talking to some of my friends about the upcoming games this weekend and almost all of the responses were the same – go Steelers and &%$# the Ravens and &%$# the Patriots. Some other people though were on the opposite side hoping that the Steelers lose. Last month, I wrote a piece on the measure of a fan and what all comes with it. One part of ...

Welcome to the wicked mind of Morgan Spokny, AKA the “Spokester”.
Out of the gate: As I’m sure you have already heard, the 350 lb behemoth, Haloti Ngata landed a big blow early to Ben Roethlisberger’s nose last Monday. Blood spewed and soaked into his jersey. It truly was a grotesque injury. It looked like Big Ben just went 12 rounds with Ali. It seemed like déjà vu. Didn’t I ...

For almost 4 quarters the Ravens were besting the Steelers at the Nest. But then late in the 4th, Joe Flacco would make two colossal mistakes that would cost the Ravens 1st place in the North and a possible bye week in the post season.
If nothing else, Terrell Suggs was the man on Sunday night. He abused the replacement offensive lineman of the Steelers and terrorized Ben Roethlisberger. ...

STEELERS 38 BUCS 13
Bottom line, Pittsburgh rips the Bucs in Tampa to stay undefeated at 3-0 behind the play of their 4th string QB to start the season, Mr. Charlie Batch.
“You really have to tip your hat to Charlie Batch, what he was able to do for us. He played like a veteran. He didn't blink. He's the consummate professional and team player. That's a lesson a lot of young pe...

Pittsburgh at Tennessee preview – Sunday 1 :00 pm (eastern)
The last time the Steelers visited Tennessee, the Titans came away with a 31-14 win two years ago, and then Titans' running back LenDale White taunted the visitors by stomping on the famous Terrible Towel. Created in 1975 by then Steelers radio broadcast Myron Cope, the Towel has since become “arguably the best-known fan ...

The Falcons offense seemed to lack the spark fans were expecting. The running game clearly struggled. Turner ran for only 42 yards on 19 carries in Sunday's overtime loss at Pittsburgh. Matt Ryan made some nice throws, but we weren’t able to put up any touchdowns, only field goals.
Ryan finally made a mistake in the end of the fourth quarter when he threw a pick to Troy Polamalu. That play se...

Training camp has begun and that means it is time to awake all of the Fantasy Sleepers. Each position has three categories of Sleepers: Keeper Sleeper (already established), Deeper Sleeper (who?), and Cheaper Sleeper (rookie).
Quarterbacks:
Keeper: Chad Henne (Dolphins)
With the addition of WR Brandon Marshall, the Dolphins have the potential of having a 4,000-yard passer, 1,000-yard receiver...

Bengals Overcome Weak First Half to Overthrow Defending Champs
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair*” When Charles Dickens opened his ...
